I'm having chest pain that's really concerning me. When I press the center of my chest with my finger, it hurts, and sometimes I feel pain on the left and right sides too, but other times there's no pain at all. Even when I cough, it's like the pain flares up in my chest. Lately, I've also been experiencing some back pain. I have had diabetes for the past 10 years and have been on Novamix 30 insulin. Could you suggest any medication or remedies for relief?

My cholesterol level came back at 241. Do I absolutely have to start taking medication to get it down, or is it possible to lower it just by sticking to a regular workout routine?
Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels, but in some cases, medication may be necessary to bring it down to a healthy range. It's important to follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen, but if your cholesterol levels remain high, your doctor may prescribe medication. One common medication used to lower cholesterol is Atorvastatin, typically taken at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily.
